In 2008, Jamiel Shaw Jr., a high school football player, was killed in 2008 by a member of the 18th Street Gang hours after he had been released from a local jail. This was done execution style. So now the boy’s father is urging California Gov Jerry Brown to veto a bill that would have police release illegal immigrants into the streets even when the feds want them detained.

This controversial bill, which was passed by the legislature in August, would comple local police to ignore requests by ICE to hold illegal immigrants if they could otherwise be released.

Advocates say it’s a way for police to build “trust” with local communities — the name of the bill is the TRUST Act. But opponents warn the policy could have dangerous consequences.

The bill “will have real and potentially devastating consequences for people across our state,” Jamiel Shaw Sr., whose 17-year-old son was killed, said in a statement.

Shaw separately put out a web video appealing to Brown to reject the bill.

“Would you want that to happen to your son? … How many have to die by people being let out into the streets from the county jail that should be deported,” he said in the video. “No one should have to go through losing a child.” Fox News

So the do gooders want murderers on the street.

In Shaw’s murder case, Pedro Espinoza was accused of shooting Shaw twice, after mistaking him for a rival gang member. A jury recommended the death penalty for Espinoza earlier this year.

Bob Dane, a spokesman at the Federation for American Immigration Reform, said California would open the door to a rampant public safety threat – as well as additional financial burden on the state – if the governor lets the bill become law. He noted Brown could opt to take no action on the bill, allowing it to become law by default.

The bill would compel police in California to release illegal immigrants once they become eligible — even if ICE wants them held — unless the individual has been convicted of a “serious or violent felony. Supporters cited the financial burden on local communities that hold these detainees for ICE and the potential erosion of trust with police.

AND NOW FOR THE PELOSI TIDBIT:

On Setember 13, Nancy Pelosi and her fellow democrats sent Gov Jerry Brown a letter, urging him to sign the bill.

They cited accounts that a federal program called Secure Communities “currently erodes trust between local communities and law enforcement.”

“They report that the initiative already has reduced the willingness of immigrant and non-immigrant crime victims and witnesses to cooperate with law enforcement and has consequently diminished public safety,” they wrote. The suggestion is that illegal immigrants would be reluctant to report crimes out of concern ICE would come after them. Fox News

Secure Communities is a program that allows federal immigration agents to work with local officials to determine who in local jails might be deportable. But Shaw argues that police in California are not interested in checking the immigration status of people who report or witness crimes. Fact is, no politician wants to really check legal status, if they are Democrat. And because of this, in California, illegals don’t fear police.

Federal immigration officials have defended the Secure Communities program, which they say has helped the agency remove nearly 150,000 convicted criminals to date — including murderers and rapists.

ICE Director John Morton wrote in an Aug. 23 letter to FAIR that communities that ignore ICE requests to hold detainees “are undermining public safety in their communities by exposing their local communities to risks from suspected and convicted sex offenders, weapons violators, drunk drivers and other violent criminals.”

ICE spokeswoman Gillian Christensen told FoxNews.com on Wednesday that the agency implements “clear priorities” to focus on convicted criminals. She stressed the importance of local cooperation, without commenting specifically on the California proposal.

“The federal government alone sets these priorities and places detainers on individuals arrested on criminal charges to ensure that dangerous criminal aliens and other priority individuals are not released from prisons/jails and into our communities,” she said. “The Administration remains committed to immigration reform and to enforcing current law in a smart and effective manner across the country.” Fox News
